Book Collection: George at C-Springs

[George at C-Springs]

Updating 25 Jan 2014; hell, it's only been a year since I said I'd finish! Updating the full-shelf photos and descriptions here on Page 1 and adding a ton more towards the end. Hopefully be done tonight. I'm also using photobucket for the first time versus uploading to the gallery; gallery takes far too long and I've got too many photos. The downside is that photobucket photos never show up on my phone, I only get the little blue question mark.

Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Very nice collection, George. And I like the cases!

[Dan]

Great start to the photos. Where did you order your shelves?

[George at C-Springs]

Great start to the photos. Where did you order your shelves?

Dan, I had them made locally at "The (Not Just) Oak Place", about 5 minutes down the road from where I live here in C-Springs. They can make anything to order, and prices are great for hardwood; these were $235 apiece, plus another $40 to have them lacquered. Here's the website:

[jhanic]

Very, very nice, George. I just wish I had those!

[Roog]

Very nice collection! Some real collectibles :)

About the well-read reading copies: what are the details about the Waste Lands one from Signet? The spine looks different than my copy.

[George at C-Springs]

Roog - Out of everything on the shelves, that's pretty much the last one I expected a question on!

LOL, I know! But I'm a total Dark Tower collecting freak and now I have another edition to add to my list :) You got a first print, I have a reprint I guess with a different ISBN but no numberline at all.
Thanks for the pics!

[Cook]

George,
Congratulations on both the "Holy Grail" and the excellent book cases.
The Collection thread looks great and don't worry about those empty shelves, next time you turn around you'll notice you've ran out of room... Again!! :)

[bdwyer19]

Love the Dolso cases, George. Great looking collection!!

[Stockerlone]

[Stockerlone]

GIGANTISCHES posting George !!! Awesome additions !!

[Dan]

Great stuff!

[Roog]

That's a bunch of great books!

[carlosdetweiller]

Wow, George! You have been busy. Love all the King proofs.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Awesome stuff. I especially like that CARRIE proof and THE PASSAGE preview proof. Color me green with envy.

[Cook]

George,
Damn, nothing like a subtle slam dunk.
it's pretty hard to comment on which ones are most impressive, Hmm....
Carrie proof, no doubt #1 (for me)
All the proofs, beautiful, spectacular, so pristine.

[Ben Staad]

Ok. Here is the deal. I'm taking off work tomorrow so I can truly review and enjoy your latest posts.

[Scoogs]

Wow, you've been holding back!

[George at C-Springs]

Thanks everybody. It wasn't so much holding back as just never making the time to take and post individual photos. I usually post when I get something in, just never in Collections. Most everything on these two pages, with the exception of SK trades, I've gotten in the past three and a half years or so. I'm actually thinking about re-editing the whole thread, just making it the discreet sections (remarques, proofs/arcs, S/Ls, trades, flatsigned), and then just adding to those sections when something new comes in. Do that vs adding things in random order at end of thread.

I was actually inspired to get off my duff and post photos by our newest member Amber, she was so excited to learn and show her collection ... so thank you Amber!

[jhanic]

George, you've got some really great items there, I especially like the King proofs (surprise, huh?) That Plume Drawing of the Three proof is one of the more scarce ones--it does NOT have the sticker on the front. I don't have one of those, but I'm looking!

John

[George at C-Springs]

George, you've got some really great items there, I especially like the King proofs (surprise, huh?) That Plume Drawing of the Three proof is one of the more scarce ones--it does NOT have the sticker on the front. I don't have one of those, but I'm looking!

John

I thought it was the other way around John! Since I ID'd the two different types ... what was it, two years ago now? ... I thought the sticker one was the more scarce. I don't have one of those!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Now you guys have got me curious. Just how scarce is that DRAWING OF THE THREE orange proof? What's the value of one with the sticker and one without the sticker? Mine has a sticker, and I wish I could remember what I paid for it! It wasn't much though, so I guess I got a good deal.

[jhanic]

I paid $131 for my copy with sticker in 2006.

John

[George at C-Springs]

Okay, so get this. I keep all of my receipts, so I went downstairs to pull the one out of my orange plume proof ... and mine has a sticker on it. I didn't even look at it yesterday because I knew I already had a photo in my gallery, so I just used that one. Now what I'm thinking is that the one in my photo, sans sticker, is the one that I ID'd two or three years ago, whenever it was, in some auction. I'd sent the photo to John asking if there was a difference between the two (I had just started collecting proofs) and wanted to know why that one was different because it wasn't mentioned in his thread. John said hey, brand new variety of the orange proof, promptly posted the info .... and somebody else outbid me for it at the auction. I don't think I've seen another since then, and my copy is boring old garden variety stickered.

Not that I'm bitter. :arg:

[Ben Eads]

Holy poop on a stick! Yes, that's my phrase for when I find myself awe struck! Wow! Now that is a collection, George! Very impressive new finds.

BTW, our copies of NOS4A2 are one number off. I've got copy 88. How odd is that?

[Merlin1958]

Great stuff, George!!! Rather awesome as a matter of fact!!!!

[Ben Staad]

Have a read The Angles yet? I loved Westlake Soul by that author and am curious if this one is good as well.

[DanishFan]

For whatever reasons, I can't drop you a personal note, George at C-Springs, so I'll just ask here: Regarding the US ARCs of Bag of Bones and Hearts in Atlantis...do they have a letter to booksellers/reviewers from King? I've been trying to find these letters (plus a letter from King to booksellers/reviewers in the US ARC of The Green Mile - and no, not the Foreword: A Letter piece) and they're very difficult to track down. Maybe someone here can help? I'm thinking of a scan of the letters, not the actual physical letters.

[jhanic]

Danishfan, there was a second state of the ARC of Bag of Bones that was personally inscribed by King addressed to individual booksellers, limited to about 100 copies (see post #21 in my collections thread). I don't think I've ever see a publisher's letter for either title, though.

(By the way, you need five posts to be able to send a PM to another member.)

John

[DanishFan]

Ah ok, well, here's my fourth post, I think;) I do know that the BoB letter was reprinted in the limited magazine, Bag of Bones: A Preview (plus its very first appearance was the very short intro in KING etc..) I have both of these, but I'm always interested in the first appearances. The Hearts in Atlantis letter was included in the Pocket Books edition of Bag of Bones as the afterword (in a bit longer or shorter version - can't recall which). They also both appeared on Simon & Schuster's websites. The Green Mile letter, however, is seemlingly impossible to find although I have a text version of it somewhere (or a transcript).

[George at C-Springs]

DanishFan - Sorry for the delay in responding, I haven't been in Collections in awhile. Thanks for answering John ... I was going to say that I'll have to check when I get home tonight, but no, I don't remember seeing a Publisher's Letter. But I'll check, just in case!

[DanishFan]

No sweat;) I believe they are called reviewer's letters and some of the ARCs has a publisher's letter (from Scribner) and/or a reviewer's letter (from King).

[George at C-Springs]

DanishFan & John - Well, as surprised as I was to find them, my Hearts in Atlnatis had both a Publisher's Letter and a letter from King. The King letter is not signed in pen, it's a photocopy, and appears to be Steve instead of Stephen. Bag of Bones only has the Publisher's Letter printed on the first page, not a separate insert as these are.

[you ever seen a ghost?]

Is this the same letter as this? If so, I have it listed as #2. Just wondering if it is the same text.

C435. [Untitled] -



This is a four-page note to readers concerning King’s
then forthcoming book Hearts in Atlantis.



Appearances:

1. Bag of Bones, by Stephen King. New York: Pocket Books, June 1999,
mass-market paperback. [No pagination at the end of the book.] See
Bag of Bones: A65.

2. Distributed with review copies of Hearts in Atlantis. One front
and back page. Fall 1999.

3. Distributed by Simon & Schuster as part of a “Reading Group Kit,”
which also included a cassette tape with King reading an excerpt from
Hearts in Atlantis, a reading group guide, etc. Two pages. Fall
1999.

4. As “Letter from King” on Simon & Schuster’s official web site.
1999. Note: This version is longer than the original appearance.

[DanishFan]

George, scans would be great, thanks;) Super that you found them. But funny that the Hearts in Atlantis letter was in the Bag of Bones ARC - I wonder where the shorter letter about Bag of Bones are then? That one begins with something like King looking at the calendar and he saw 50 staring at his face (his birthday) - it was actually also first excerpted as the short intro in KING etc.

[DanishFan]

Oops, I misread your post, George, the HiA letter was in the HiA ARC. Justin, this IS the same text, the letter we've been trying to find for so long.

[you ever seen a ghost?]

This is the other letter:

C414. [Untitled] -

This is an introductory note to KING etc.

Appearances:
1. KING etc. London: A BOOKS etc. publication, in association with Hodder & Stoughton, [August] 1998, paperback, [no pagination at the beginning of the book]. A free promotional book. See KING etc.: A64.
2. Bag of Bones, by Stephen King. London: Hodder & Stoughton, [Summer] 1998, trade paperback with slipcase, [no pagination at the beginning of the book]. Advance Reader’s Copy. Note: Only 200 copies were printed.
3. Bag of Bones: A Preview. New York, NY: Scribner, [Fall 1998], paperback, p. 1. No ISBN. [Expanded version] Note: This is a promotional “limited edition collector’s magazine” which also includes an excerpt from King’s novel Bag of Bones and an interview.
4. This letter was sent out to various booksellers as a promotion. Fall 1998.
5. This letter also appeared as “Letter from King” on Simon & Schuster’s official web site. Fall 1998.

[George at C-Springs]

Justin, you hosed up putting in the photo jpgs; I'd like to see what it is you guys are all excited about! I never paid any attention to the two HiA letters ... obviously. I think the Publisher's Letter printed in the front of Bag of Bones is standard for that ARC, looked like it to me anyway. It was also by Susan Moldow.

Fire me off your e-mail addresses and I'll send you scans tonight after work. John, would you like copies as well?

From the picture, it doesnt look like a front & back page, but only a front page. So, a new version maybe?

[DanishFan]

The way I see it (and I could of course be very wrong) is that the front and back page-info is an error. The one page displayed here seems like the right version to me. Personally, I'm always interested in the letters written by King, not so much in the letters written by Moldow or others. But it's so great to finally have this - now we just need the Bag of Bones letter (the UK version has been displayed here) and The Green Mile letter.

[George at C-Springs]

Both letters are single-sided. The King letter is single-spaced as well, it's a long letter; I could see that if it were reproduced in a book or were 1.5 or double-spaced that it would go at least two pages and maybe more.

Nice surprise to find a 'lost' item in the collection, and glad to help you guys out.

[DanishFan]

Yeah, it runs four pages in the Bag of Bones Pocket Books paperback (where it's represented as an untitled afterword of a sort to promote HiA). That version was also slightly longer, though, as King mentions the last story in HiA (Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling)...there's no mention of it in the ARC letter.

Second paragraph from the bottom, the line after "Why We're in Viet Nam" he mentions "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling". See, now I'm going to have to go and read the whole darn thing.

[DanishFan]

You're right...I assume then it's the version in BoB that doesn't mention that story. Will compare them in a short while.

Nope, sure didn't ... ordered it through CD when they had a 10% CDCC discount, and slipcase wasn't part of the deal. I just dropped it in a bag and put it on the shelf next to the signed trade.

Bump :biggrin:

[George at C-Springs]

Here ya go Manda :-)

As someone else mentioned, nothing special about these editions other than the limitation page; they are essentially trades with signatures. Covers are bound in cloth/linen; endpapers are textured; and there are no illustrations (greatly disappointing but not surprising).

[Ben Staad]

The book looks good and you are right about the signature. I wonder if it is just an abbreviation of the first name? Either way, congrats.

[Stockerlone]

Congrats George !!!

Haven't posted in a month, few new items, only one of them King:

CD Carrie Proof

I'm a WWII history buff, so getting to meet some of the Navajo Code Talkers is always a pleasure. Picked up two books which they all signed. The Unbreakable Code is a kid's book, very nicely illustrated, if you're interested in teaching a youngster about the history of the Code Talkers. It's told from the perspective of one of the original 29.

Barnes & Noble had a Black Friday deal with 100 books flat-signed by the authors; these are the three I picked up. Not a Hillary fan ... at all ... but if the good citizens of the US are stupid enough to elect her, it will still be a presidential signature.

Wonderful, George! Congratulations!

[zelig]

So George, you're looking to get each state of the CD unbound proof right? On these unbounds I've been fine with just one of the versions. Was just curious about your collecting goals on those.

[George at C-Springs]

Since I already had the "tough" ones (before the black tape showed up), I figured what the hell might as well get all three states of the unbound and make it a complete set. Only doing it for FDNS, not the others. Of course, unless more black tapes show up its an exercise in futility anyway!

[zelig]

Okay makes sense. That's a lofty goal for sure. And yeah with proof collecting you're right about exercises in futility. My overall goal with my proof collection is to take it as far as I can with what's available out there currently. Having a "complete" collection is highly improbable. My feeling is that you have various ideas on what you would consider complete when it comes to proofs. I'm inching toward my initial goal on them. All that's left are some of the rare to ultra-rare ones.

[jonp]

That's quite a collection of FDNS proofs, George. Congratulations! I've only got the unbound proof!
